How to call javascript in blueprism?

[ritansh.jatwani]

Hi All,

I wanted to select a value from dropdown in IE. Though the value is getting selected but only on the front end. It is not refreshing its value in reality. I know that we can trigger javascript function to update its value. But what function shall we call to trigger its value?
Below is the snippet of the HTML code i got from the web application.

Hi Ritansh - one option is to make the web app 'realise' the dropdown has changed, by including a key or click somewhere. UIs are built for human users and sometimes robotic integration goes 'unnoticed' by the app's client side code. Rather than trying to guess which JavaScript to induce, it might be easier to make the robot behave in a more human way. You may find a combination of 'select item' and click or focus or send key might be enough to fire the event that triggers the JavaScript.
